TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the difficulties of opening a bank account in Thailand with a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV). Users mention that it is virtually impossible to obtain a bank account with this type of visa, as it is considered a long-term tourist visa and does not qualify for banking services. Alternatives such as setting up accounts with services like Wise or Revolut prior to arrival are suggested.

DTV doesn't entitle you to a bank account, its just a long term tourist visa.

Virtually impossible to get one on a DTV at the moment. Set up a Wise, Revolut etc account before you arrive, if you do not have one..
